AFAIK the problem here is that plasmashell simply does not use the icons from the icon theme.
Instead they use icons extracted from a larger SVG file:

https://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Plasma5/ThemeDetails#.22icons.22_folder

e.g. opening /usr/share/plasma/desktoptheme/air/icons/network.svgz
with inkscape shows the attached image.

Oxygen still provides colored icons, e.g. check
/usr/share/icons/oxygen/base/32x32/devices/network-wireless-connected-50.png
/usr/share/icons/oxygen/base/32x32/devices/network-wireless-connected-00.png
/usr/share/icons/oxygen/base/32x32/devices/network-wireless-connected-100.png
/usr/share/icons/oxygen/base/32x32/devices/network-wireless-connected-25.png
/usr/share/icons/oxygen/base/32x32/devices/network-wireless-connected-75.png

You can either change the svg file or
you can try liquidshell instead which uses the icons from the icon theme
(e.g. "network-wireless-connected-%1" icons for the wireless signal strength)
